The $7,950 'Gadget'

Since it's Monday, finding a gadget becomes a veritable quest because there aren't too many new devices suitable for this category.

That is why we will make an exception today from the rule of presenting only small and funny devices, and we will talk about a pair of loudspeakers. Yes, that helmet-shaped thing in the picture is nothing more, nothing less, than a loudspeaker.

The
upper structure part is in fact the housing of the tweeter (for the treble range), and the main part is a 6.5 inch woofer (for midrange and bass). With these two, the speakers are capable of responses ranging between 80 and 18,000 Hz, and for those who aren't satisfied with the bass range, an additional sub-woofer is also available.

Although they might look like some toys in the photo, the materials used for the structure, stainless steel and aircraft aluminum, make them extremely resistant to shocks.

We can also tell you that the loudspeakers are called Type One, they are manufactured by Studio Electric, and that's about it, the producer's site not mentioning anything about their power.

The only drawback of these loudspeakers is the price, which makes them available only to the eccentric audiophiles who have more than generous budgets. These solutions cost $7,950.
